No new operator, but still a syntax change, so that doesn't help from that POV.

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.* = *args
self.** = **kwargs

What is "self.* = *args" supposed to do? For each positional argument, what name in the object is it bound to?

E.

For what it's worth, that's what I don't really like about the initially proposed syntax too ...

self .= foo, bar, baz

works OK, but:

tup = foo, bar, baz

self .= tup

doesn't work. Admittedly, that could be part of the definition of this feature, but it feels really unexpected to all of a sudden give my tuple a temporary name and have the code behave in a dramatically different fashion.
